The piece that I am going to be talking about is the Athena and Erechtheus mosaic. These too we studied in the high classical period about 430bce - 406 BCE. Athena was selected to be the god of Athens after she won a match by planting an olive tree. Erechtheus was a god from the Iliad that gave up his daughter to win a war for Athens. In the background we see the acropolis with the temple of Athena Nike in the front then to the left of that we see the propylaia, the picture gallery, then behind…

The softest jolt stirred Tristaric from troubled dreams into unpleasant heat and humidity. Clamminess under his arms disgusted him and he touched the plates of his staff changing the environment within the cabin. It was two days since leaving the capital and the four magii should have propelled his carriage halfway across the Empire to his destination by now.
